Today I want to show you how to make slow-cooked homemade applesauce.

There is a chance this post won’t be very popular among all of you currently in your cookie, cake and pie comas.

But here’s what I love about this recipe: it’s stupid simple, 100% fresh and you can use it to use in your Holiday baking (applesauce makes a great replacement for sugar).

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 5 hours
Course Side Dish
Cuisine American
Servings 6

Equipment

  • slow cooker
  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 12 apples
  • cinnamon to taste
  • 1 Tbsp coconut sugar or to taste
  • nutmeg to taste

Instructions
 

  • Peel and core your apples
  • Place all apples in the slow cooker and fill with water to cover about 1/2 way up on the apples
  • Cover and slow cook on low for about 5 hours (about 2-3 hours in, add a little more water)
  • Drain water, and let the apples cool
  • Place apples in a blender
  • Puree the apples for just a second (Note: literally for just a second; I did it too long and they got too smooth -> unless you like it that way or are giving them to a baby)
  • Add your “flavoring” as you wish (I used just a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, and coconut sugar)

Notes

In this exact recipe, I had access to Jujube apples. So I used 9 small apples and 11 Jujube apples. You can swap for just 12 regular apples.

  1. Homemade applesauce is THE best! Whole apples are tough for me, too, but I love them too much to not eat a few a week 🙂 I’ve never thought about using my crock-pot to make applesauce… yum!
